Fashion weeks around the world may be over for the season, but the time to shine in Whitehorse is upon us!

Join facilitator Emily Gayda for a three-session sewing workshop (November 3rd, November 17th, and December 15th, from 6:15 PM to 9:15 PM) where participants will be able to gain the skills and knowledge needed to begin producing your made-to-measure clothing and even sew a (possibly first!) garment. Over the course of the three evenings, Emily will cover the set-up and use of a sewing machine, introduce different stitching and finishing techniques, touch on fabric choices and care, and guide you through reading and following a sewing pattern. The chosen pattern allows for significant customization and begins with a simple shirt. Where it ends will be up to you!

Closed-toed shoes are required. All materials and equipment needed to complete this workshop will be provided. You are welcome to bring your own sewing machine if desired, please contact us ahead of time at dennist@yukonstruct.com with the model name and number if you plan to do so. This course is suitable for beginners and anyone seeking to improve their sewing ability.

Emily learned to sew here at Yukonstruct’s Makespace and she is keen to share some of what she has learned with you. Find more of her work on Instagram at @9_missedcalls.
